Arla Foods will be selling its Eko brand organic milk in Tetra Rex Bio-based packs produced by Tetra Pak, claimed as world-first completely renewable packaging.<\/p>\n
The one-litre carton of the product will feature TwistCap OSO 34 opening that is made from paperboard and plastics from sugarcane. Tetra Pak had added the TwistCap to its portfolio in 2014.<\/p>\n
The fully renewable packaging will also be marked with “Bio-based” and will offer its customers complete traceability to enable customers to know that the packaging is derived from plants.<\/p>\n
Finland-based dairy Valio had first started using the Tetra Rex Bio-based for its Valio Eila brand of lactose free semi-skimmed milk drink.<\/p>\n
After receiving positive feedback about the product, Tetra Pak announced earlier this month that it would make the 100% renewable packaging available for global markets.<\/p>\n
Tetra Rex Bio-based is available in sizes ranging from 250ml to 2000ml, for all chilled milk specifications.<\/p>\n
Tetra Pak uses the bio-based plastics produced by Brazilian chemical company, Braskem, which sources all of its feedstock from sugar cane grown on degraded pastures.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the product, executive vice president of product management and commercial operations for Charles Brand had said: “Tetra Rex Bio-based offers customers a fully renewable package made from materials that can be traced back to their plant-based source.<\/p>\n
“It’s good for the environment, and it’s excellent for communicating with consumers, the product they actually hold in their hands is derived entirely from plants. The pack that grows back.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
